﴿ أَوْ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى ٱلْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِى كَرَّةًۭ فَأَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴾
“or lest he should say, when he becomes aware of the suffering [that awaits him], “Would that I had a second chance [in life], so that I could be among the doers of good!””
(Or should say) and so that it will not say, (when it seeth the doom: Oh, that I had but a second chance) to return to the life of this world (that I might be among the righteous) among those who believe in Allah's divine Oneness!
